As Corvette is the title sponsor of Sunday Afternoon’s ABC Sport’s broadcast of the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring, it only makes sense to educate viewers how closely related the production cars are to the ALMS GT racers. To do so, GM showcases the Corvette ZR1 while spokesman Tim Allen tells viewers that when they decided to take 638-horsepower Corvette racing, they had to dial back the power just to be fair to Porsche, Ferrari and BMW. For Corvette’s competition on the track and in the showrooms, sometimes the truth hurts.

We showed you some preview images of the next Colorado and here is the official launch video. Hopefully they change this some more, it looks great from the front but as you work your way to the rear it really looks like…. Ass. I owned one of these when they came out so I know what I am talking about. The I5 was underpowered and the build quality was terrible. This still needs work from the outside and that’s assuming they fixed the engine and quality. I am rooting for them. Lot of horrible splicing in this video and boring “we rock” talk so jump to 6:20 to get right to it. The photos we posted yesterday are a better bet.
